here are the 03 specs.

Fuel Tank Capacity: 16.4 gal.
EPA Mileage Estimates: (City/Highway)
Automatic: : 17 mpg / 21 mpg
Range in Miles: (City/Highway)
Automatic: 278.8 mi. / 344.4 mi.

i forgot when they implemented the sae standards but i dont think it would change since i was averaging 22-23mpg stock.

Correction.

Automatic: 8.9 MPG

Seems like that's the avg I get with my driving style. I still put about 200miles on one full tank.

jturkel

haha....and i thought my 220 miles per tank was bad

So much for expecting like 20mpg in my car lol.

lol are you redlining your car at every stop or something?

I get 20-21mpg with heavy 19'' rims and a 50lb sub.

My only mod is code3 intake and k & N filters.

its mostly dependent on throttle position, driving style and how much highway driving you do. I hit 26mpg when i did all highway.

I almost always redline. Or when I get in the car the first half of driving is insane and then the second half is chill and it tells you avg mpg since reset and since start. It doesn't tell you current so once I start off with like 9mpg i gotta drive for a while to bring it to 11mpg. But once I reset it just to see if something is f*ucked up and i was getting 15-20 in the city. 20 when stopped and like 16 when driving. I don't do any highway driving at all.

On the highway, cruising at 75, I've seen the display creep as high as 26.2 MPG. I haven't had the chance to take a highway cruise long enough that the MPG would be > 95% of the fuel so that figure is probably the upper limit, because as soon as I'm off the highway, and hit a few lights, it drops quick.

Balanced mix of hwy and city, and driving like a limo, I can get 22 MPG.

Driving 'spirited' lets say, it's in the 17's.

Driving 'aggressively' it could drop to the 13's.

I have compared might computer to fill-drive-fill calculations, and it is usually within 2 10ths of a mile, and I believe that variation could be attributed to the cutoff variation during fillup. (I fill best I can, but I don't want to spill fuel on the paint, y'know).

One thing I did calculate because I could not find it was the idle rate.
After watching my MPG sink when sitting in the car for a few minutes, I was curious as to how much the car is consuming while idling.
After a few tests:
0.39 Gal/hr.

So, with fuel over 4 bucks a gal,
it's about $1.75 per hour to idle with the AC on.

you are right on target with what I get. If I am on the highway crusing at around 70 I can get 25-26 range. Mixed driving taking it east around 23. Accelarating faster than normail yields 17. Having fun with it priceless
